    Frank,

    It is a lot easier if you make the question a little bit more specific. Now people will answer yes or no. If you have a specific question than ask that question. That way we will be able to help you a lot faster.

    :)

    If you mean the Oldtimer Galerie in Toffen near Bern ( http://www.oldtimergalerie.ch/e/inhalt.htm ), I've been there. The place looks a bit run down, but has a lot of charm. There are about 60 cars in an old factory building with an annexed restaurant. Don't expect to see all the cars they advertise as many are sold on commission. Good place to spend an hour in if you're in the vicinity.

    Cheers
    Andy

    Simon,

    I looked at those BB's as well. They seem reasonably priced.

    They do classic car auction quite regularly and the first site poted by Andy is more their auction site, although it does have some customer cars for sale too. The second site is the normal second hand dealer setup.

    Simon,

    Did you see the 365 GT/4 BB's ? One of them could be a wonderful restoration object for you.
    That car is real Ferrari history because it is the first series of Mid engine 12 cylinder Ferrari's.

    the silver one is way too expensive for a garage queen imho. and it looks butt ugly in this color.

    But the red one seems reasonably priced! It probably needs a fortune to restore that car.

    the yellow one is way overprized (bar metal paint!!!) and is for sale since more than a year now. i don't even want to talk about the könig kit car, sad!
    if it could be reasonably rebuilt to the original state, then it could be an interesting project pricewise.

    Yes,

    That is what I mean. But that will probably cost you a fortune.

    and a very nice black one in Cannes (http://www.autodrome-cannes.com/ferrari_365_gt4bb_black.htm)
    it's for sale for more than 2 years now, so the price may be more flexible....
